Has anyone tried WB with an AP for Psychotic Depression?

Also, what would be a good anti-psychotic that doesn't put you to sleep? I've tried Seroquel, Abilify, and Geodon (currently on), and they all out me to sleep which I am grateful for, but I can't wake up until the effects wear off.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not on Wellbutrin, I'm on Effexor and Celexa. I take Risperidone as my AP. I don't find it particularly sedating, although I do take it at night, but I'm clear headed when I wake up in the morning, and I haven't gained any weight on it. Biggest negative side effects - lactation, totally threw off my period, and flattenned affect. But it works well for me, so I tolerate the side effects.

Thanks for your input

Have you ever had a relapse? I'm now going through one (never knew about the disorder prior to relapse), so I'm hoping to get stable again.

My first time was in 06 and took Seroquel and Zoloft and after 8 months or so I came off of Seroquel and was pretty much normal on about 20mg of Zoloft until I stopped taking it about a year ago. I just recently started taking an AD & AP together as just taking an AD has made me much worse.

I guess I didn't realize how much the combination of the AD & AP worked!
